Chapter Thirty-Three: Not Even Iron
Tie Qiu's words just spoke the hearts of others, and Yin Zhu also said: "That's it, for such a long time, at least one or two dishes have come out, let's eat and wait, we can't sit like this." ”
Yue Su nodded slightly, and said, "It's indeed a little slow, so let's do it, Tieqiu, you go and urge it, but be polite, don't use your power to oppress people." ”
"My lord, don't worry, I'm not a bully." With that, he stood up, turned around and walked towards the staircase.
It's noon, who is not hungry, people with status like Yue Su and Yang Yishan are better, but that group of teenagers is really a little anxious. A few of them also stood up and said, "Uncle Tieqiu, let's go with you." As he spoke, he walked quickly to Tieqiu's side.
Tie Qiu nodded, said "yes", and took the lead downstairs. When I first entered the door, I didn't see what was eaten at these tables downstairs, but now halfway down, I can see it clearly.
Strange to say, the tables downstairs are full of six dishes on the table, and the most puzzling thing is that the six dishes on each table are exactly the same. ", eating in a restaurant, how can there be such a thing, ordering the same dish at every table, it's too coincidental."
Tie Qiu muttered to himself in his heart, and when he came downstairs in a moment, his partner Liu Si hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Master Ke, what do you command?" ”
"Command!" Tie Qiu said with a displeased face: "You are embarrassed to say it!" We've been here for a long time, and we haven't said a single dish, and we haven't even made a pot of tea. Could it be that the food is made to be delicious, and the guests are not taken into account. ”
"How dare you, how dare you...... It's a small momentary negligence, I forgot to serve tea to you, you wait, the tea will arrive soon. Liu Sifu said with a smile.
"Tea is free, when is it, how can anyone drink tea on an empty stomach. I ask you, how many dishes are ready, when will they be served? Tie Qiu said with a grin.
"This ...... Many of the dishes ordered by the master were wasted, and it took a long time. I'm going to urge you to get the kitchen as soon as possible. Liu Si replied cautiously.
"Waste fire, you can't waste every dish! There is always that fast, you hurry up and pick up the easy ones to come up first, and you are going to starve to death. By the way, bring a few more jars of wine, you want good wine, if you dare to mix water, you must look good. ”
"Yes, yes...... Rest assured, it must be good wine. I'll serve you a drink, and I'll serve it when I'm done. ”
"You know each other." Tie Qiu turned around, took a group of teenagers, and returned upstairs again.
Tie Qi went up, Liu Si below was embarrassed, this store was not a place to receive guests, that is, the governor came to the door, and he had to entertain him. At the moment, people urge wine and food, but it doesn't matter if the wine is drunk, there is a lot of wine in the store, which is drunk by the following class. It's just that this dish, although someone has been sent to move the rescue soldiers just now, but the journey is there, and it takes half an hour to come and go, not including the time to invite the cook. Let the governor wait for so long, and not a single dish will be served, and there will be no way to say where it is. And this governor of Yue shaved his head, I heard that he is not a good temper, but he is the master who says that whoever clicks.
After pondering for a while, Liu Si still thought that taking one step at a time was a step, and he would talk about the wine first. Liu Si hurriedly went to the back to touch the wine, held a jar, and sent it to Yue Su's table first, and then continued. When he sent three altars, he heard Tie Qiu say: "I said man, there are only seven or eight small ones in other restaurants, so you won't work alone." If that's the case, wait for the food to be served, and you won't be exhausted to death. ”
Liu Si snorted and ran away, already crying bitterly in his heart, and when he heard Tie Qiu say this, he hurriedly explained: "We naturally have other guys, but the dishes ordered by the guests are either more troublesome, or there is no one in the store, and they have to go out to buy them, so people either go to the back kitchen to help, or go to the street to buy vegetables." Master, you wait a minute, I'll go downstairs to get the wine, and go to the back kitchen by the way to see if the food is good. ”
After saying that, he hurriedly ran downstairs. He didn't dare to stay upstairs, they all said that Yue shaved his head clearly, and if he was seen through, it would be bad luck.
When I got downstairs, Liu Si was really worried, the whole restaurant looked like a buddy, and the other twenty or thirty masters were either tigers and bears, or thieves and rats, none of them looked like the eight classics, how could they pretend to be Xiao Er. Don't ask for help, it's really like people say, just running the stairs has to be exhausted.
After thinking for a while, he walked to a big man and said in a low voice: "Wang Tou, let everyone go outside, don't be an eyesore here, if you are seen by Yue Shaving, it will be bad." ”
Dahan nodded and whispered, "That's right. I will take them out and keep watch. Then, he said loudly: "Little Er, settle the bill." ”
"Okay, guest officer, a total of one or two dollars." Liu Si also deliberately shouted loudly, and then whispered: "You have to leave me two delicate, good-looking guys, to help serve together, if I am the only one, I will definitely be seen." I just asked upstairs, why is it just me in our store. ”
"Well, you can choose the people here." After the big man finished speaking, he raised his throat again and said, "Let's go." ”
"Come again, guest officer."
Next, downstairs was a table of "checkouts" and left, Liu Si chose three who looked decent to stay, and went to the back to change to a guy to serve, and then served the wine together. When the three of them went upstairs, they all hung their heads down, for fear of being seen as diners who had just come downstairs.
All the wine in the stone altar was served, and Yue Su suddenly said: "Xiao Er, we have been ordering food for a while, we can't let so many of us wait." Those slow dishes can be made slowly, we are not in a hurry, but there must be fast, if there is really none, you ask the kitchen, what are the good fast dishes on the first two, we drink slowly. ”
Yue Su's tone was gentle, but Liu Si heard it in his ears, but it was like a thunderbolt, and he was careful that his liver was straight and abrupt, and when Yue Su finished speaking, he immediately replied: "Yes, yes...... Don't worry, I'll go down and urge now, or as you said, I'll make two quick dishes first. ”
With that, he hurried downstairs, not wanting to stay upstairs for a while. When he arrived downstairs, Liu Si whispered to a "buddy": "You go to the king's head and ask him to send two people to greet him and see when he can arrive." ”
"Okay."
The "guy" walked out quickly, Liu Si also came to the kitchen closely, and as soon as he entered the kitchen door, he saw Chef Qu leaning leisurely on the chair, holding a fan in his left hand and a teapot in his right hand, drinking tea and enjoying it.
As soon as he saw this scene, Liu Si was angry and scolded: "How idle you will be, we are tired and half dead in front, and you are still raising an uncle here." ”
"What you kid said is really ungrateful, usually you are like an uncle, and Lao Tzu cooks and serves you alone. Today you are doing some work, and you are still hugging and bending. Say, What is the matter with me? ”
"You said that what can happen, it's almost past the meal, Yue shaved his head and they are still sitting on it, can you not urge. My head, my mouth is about to wear out, just now Yue shaved his head, but he personally said, let the kitchen have any good fast food, just make two first, they eat while waiting. You see what's good at it, get two quickly, and I'll serve it here. Otherwise, God knows what will happen to him when he gets angry! Liu Si said helplessly.
"The dishes I specialize in are the ones I make for you every day. Doesn't it taste bad? Chef Qu seems to be a little confident in the two dishes he usually makes.
"Not bad...... Liu Sigang wanted to say, "Not a bad fart, it should be salty or not, it should be light, you are embarrassed to ask". But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, for fear that after he finished speaking, this guy would not do anything.
"It's good, just shave Yue's head, and you have to keep improving, after you finish frying, you must taste it yourself." Liu Si finally said with a clear conscience.
"Okay, okay, then I'll fry two of the dishes I fried for you at noon today." After speaking, Chef Qu put down the fan and teapot and stood up. began to chop vegetables, asked Liu Si to help make the fire, prepared to stop, and stir-fried.
Not to mention, the speed of cooking is still good, which may be due to the fact that he often stir-fries these dishes. Liu Si stared cautiously on the side, for fear of a little mistake, from time to time he took two mouthfuls with chopsticks to taste salty, if it was salty, he added sugar to it, and added salt when it was light.
After the two dishes were fried, they were put on the plate, and Liu Si called the other three "guys" and served them upstairs together.
After the dishes were served, Liu Si said cautiously: "Master, this is my chef's specialty dish, you can eat it first, and the other dishes will be good later." ”
"Okay, you go down first. If the dish is good, you will serve one. Tie Qiu said with a grin.
"Good, good ......" Liu Siru was pardoned and walked downstairs quickly.
Stir-fried dishes generally pay attention to the color, flavor and flavor, especially in large restaurants, pay more attention to this. Regardless of the taste, the appearance must be good, if it is only like ordinary people's homes, only pay attention to the taste, not pay attention to others, then it is called home cooking, can not wait for this kind of restaurant lobby.
Chef Qu is also a home-cooked food, but the level is still almost the same as that of ordinary housewives, and the fried dishes are not to mention the color and fragrance. Liu Si, who served the food, of course, was not unaware of this truth, but he was really forced to have no choice, worried that if he didn't serve again, Yue Su would be suspicious. He stubbornly served the food, praying in his heart that he would be able to get through the confusion.
At the table, Du Siniang and Li Qiongying, the two of them, have definitely seen a big scene, they have never eaten any dishes, and they can see at a glance that this dish is not fried in a big restaurant at all, and it can't even be compared to an ordinary restaurant. Even if Yue Su and Li Qiongying rarely go to the big restaurant to eat, it can be seen that this chef must be a second knife.
These people, anyway, pay attention to their identities, even if they don't hype well, they are not embarrassed to criticize directly. However, Lan'er girl, but she is a mouthy person, and she said: "What kind of means is the chef of this restaurant, even my chef is not as good, and she is embarrassed to go outside to offer ugliness." ”
At the beginning of her, Mei'er immediately followed and said, "Isn't it, with this cooking skill, I don't think it's even as good as Tie Qiu." The owner of this restaurant is not blind, why did he hire such a chef. ”
Yue Su didn't say a word, his face was deep. The scene that just happened came to mind, from entering the restaurant, the diners inside stood up one after another, and then the second child here was not professional, he didn't even know the tea, and the speed of serving was extremely slow. This situation and this scene did not make him suspicious.
